Here’s the latest report as the McCaw family look forward to Christmas. Ahoghill family, Paul, Lorraine, Cameron and Caleb McCaw, are continuing to serve God at the Belfast City Mission Hall on Mayo Street.
In the following ‘prayer letter’, the McCaws reveal something of their plans in the run up to Christmas.
“There is a TIME for everything and a season for every activity under heaven.”
Ecclesiastes 3 v 1
“Christmas TIME is in our midst! Where has the TIME gone since we sent out our last prayer letter? We must be getting old!!! Over the past months, our Sunday School, Mums And Young Ones and Kids Club have got underway after our summer break. We also had our Harvest Mission, which was well attended and we just wait on God’s TIME.
Sunday School has still over 30 kids, with new members beginning each week, which is great!
Kids Club has an average of 20+ kids at each age group on a Wednesday night. We still, however, could do with some help with our Kids Club. If you are over 18, a Christian, and willing to serve God on a Wednesday night, please, please consider helping us out!
At Mums And Young Ones, we continue to have 12–14 parents/carers and children each week. It is a wonderful relaxing TIME to get to know the ladies and their children, which is a big part of building up trust!
Prayer meeting and Bible Study has 12–15 every Thursday might. Once a month we have a special guest speaker, These have been blessed TIMES together.
Sunday evening numbers are beginning to increase. Praise God it is in His TIME!
The McCaw family look forward to Christmas and have lots of events planned at Mayo Street. They encourage you to pray for these events and services.
These next few weeks are a busy TIME for us, as it is for everyone! We have lots of events to attend and services to be involved in. We would really value your prayers, that even in the fun TIMES, God would be glorified! Here are a few specific dates which you can remember.

On Sunday 18th December at 6.00pm, we will be holding a Carols by Candlelight Service. A leaflet drop will be done in the area before this event, so please pray that young and old will attend, and hear the gospel message, in a relaxed way, this Christmas!
Finally, can we wish you all a very Happy Christmas and thank you for your continued prayerful and financial support. May God Bless you and your families in 2017.”
